I've edited a batch of photos on my ipad pro and exported and already given to a client. Now that I've finished, I would like to archive that 'catalog' of edits to my external drive so that it isn't taking up so much space in my stream of photos on ipad lightroom.
Is there a way to convert that catalog over to the classic lr on my laptop? I'f idealistcally like to preserve the edits so that I can resend in the future if needed.
If someone could give me advice on workflow soultions or any tips for editing it would be much appreciated!
I've mostly used lightroom classic on my macbook pro but after getting an Ipad pro last year with a pencil I figured I would be editing more in the mobile app and less on the computer. I love using the apple pencil to make selected edits and other graphic work but the mobile version of Lightroom is still somewhat lacking imo and doesn't give me much control when editing large quanties of photos. I would love if I could work interchangably with the two: macbook and ipad on a full version of lightroom but probably won't ever happen.
My issue is storage for photos on the ipad in general is a nightmare. It's just a single stream based on date and there's really no way around that. not intuative. Same way on the lightroom mobile just a single stream and no way to organize the images.

Just enable sync in the Lightroom Classic catalog. Lightroom Classic will then download all online images, with their edits. In Preferences - Lightroom sync you can define where the images will be stored on your hard drive and if Lightroom will create a dated subfolder structure as well.
By the way. Lightroom mobile/iPad does have a way to organise images. Use albums for that. You can organise albums hierarchically into folders. Albums will sync to Collections in Lightroom Classic. The only thing that does not sync are album folders to collection sets.
